Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has endorsed President Joe Biden’s reelection campaign, a sign of the president’s strength in uniting his party to have the backing of one of its most liberal members

    Biden wasn’t my first choice in 2020 and I really wish he was younger, but he has done extremely well as President so far. If he wins again and stays healthy, I have almost no concerns he will continue to get things done.

          I think the rail unions might disagree, as well as everyone who’s going to spend the rest of their lives in debt slavery to colleges, as well as everyone throwing out college plans due to his letting affirmative action get gutted, so… Fuckin lmao…

        He has accomplished a lot. But the issue is that the Biden administration is pretty bad at showing this. Maybe it has something to do with them being so busy at doing the changes they need.

        The issue for people is to understand what’s going on. Most people are not able to comprehend what makes a good president to begin with because the tasks they do are so complex.

      Yes… Destroying Unions and allowing the Supreme Court to undo 50-100 years of progress was doing extremely well as a president.

        Unfortunately you’re displaying your ignorance. Biden has zero influence on the currently-ghastly Supreme Court. In fact given how little actual power a President has here, Biden has accomplished a lot, despite the razor thin Democrat majority (and Manchin! and Sinema!) in the Senate.

          I mean, he doesn’t really have direct power to control the court, but the court is vulnerable and responsive to public opinion and he could do more on that front. We have justices themselves saying the court is acting unconstitutionally and Biden’s putting out statements worried about how expansion would “politicize” the court. The more worried they are with their legitimacy the less bold they are in their rulings.

        On the second thing are you aware of how our system of government works? You should read up on it. Blaming Biden for it is just plainly misinformed.

          The criticism is that he didn’t pack the courts, which while strongly going against tradition, he is not prohibited from doing.

        I disagree with what he did in the railroad union, but to say he’s destroyed unions is a bit of a misnomer. Other replies have already explained how stupid the second part of your comment is, I don’t need to add to that.
